Darin Klein & Friends Present: Box of Books, Vol. VII, a curated collection of twenty-three fold-out artist books was released earlier this month at the LA Art Book Fair,at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA. My contribution, Upon Reflection, was presented along with those of Bruno Fazzolari, Amelia Ishmael and Nicholas Sung.

Artist book; 4 x 5; from Darin Klein & Friends Present: Box of Books, Vol. VII (edition of 150, signed and numbered)
Darin and his publications are featured in the Los Angeles Review of Books video on the LA Art Book Fair. One of contributors to Box of Books is the great American poet, playwright, essayist, critic and naked eccentric, Kevin Killian. About the collection, he writes: “The artists assembled here have totally rejiggered the concept of what a book can be, and brought it around to a new dimension via unlikely means, the use of what is an absurdly small canvas unfolded all out! It’s like what Robert Creeley said at Black Mountain, ‘Form is never more than an extension of content.’”
